Waynesboro Generals defeat Harrisonburg Turks, 7-3

Outfielder Chase Hamilton’s three run home run helped power the Waynesboro Generals past the Harrisonburg Turks 7-3 on Tuesday night.

Turks pitcher Boone Mokry had thrown four scoreless innings before the Hamilton home run put Waynesboro on top 3-1 in the fifth inning.  The Generals would not trail for the rest of the game.
